Porsche Car Connect app

Porsche Car Connect app1
Various Apps are available for your vehicle, depend-
ing on the country (download from Apple App Store
or GOOGLE®Play Store).
WARNING Setting and operating
while driving
Setting and operating Apps while driving may dis-
tract you from the traffic situation. You may lose
control of the vehicle.
eOnly use and manage Apps when the vehicle is
stationary.
Different functions are available depending on mod-
el, country and equipment. The features described
here are therefore not available in all models, coun-
tries and equipment versions.
The app provides for the networking of vehicle and
mobile phone. This allows vehicle-specific informa-
tion to be retrieved directly via the mobile phone and
selected vehicle settings to be made via the app.
If there is no active contract for the vehicle, the
menu item is greyed out. Even when the function is
deactivated, location information for your vehicle is
transmitted if your vehicle breaks down, if you make
an emergency call or if the vehicle is stolen.
The appearance of the app differs depending on the
operating system but the functions remain the
same.
The functions of the app are divided into three
groups in accordance with the subscribed services.
Remote Services
The following content is available via the Remote
Services, depending on the country:
– Vehicle status
– Trip mileage statistics
– Comfort and safety
Safety Services
With this service, the app can automatically trigger a
breakdown call or provide support if breakdown as-
sistance is required.
Security Services
The functions of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking Sys-
tem (PVTS) are available via this service.
Information
– As the App can be used to access vehicle-spe-
cific data and other functions, we recommend
that you protect this data to prevent unauthor-
ised access by third parties.
– Use of the app may incur additional costs with
your service provider since the data is transmit-
ted via mobile phone communications networks.
Disabling communication be-
tween the vehicle and the app
Communication between the vehicle and the app as
well as My Porsche is disabled when the function is
active. No vehicle-specific information is transmit-
ted. This means that no vehicle settings can be
configured using the app or My Porsche.
Information
Even when the function is activated, location infor-
mation for your vehicle is transmitted if your vehicle
breaks down, if you make an emergency call or if the
vehicle is stolen.
ePlease inform all persons using the vehicle that
communication may be disabled.
